THIS POST IS A FIRST FOR ME --- BUT HERE GOES: I really feel sorry for someone like you Steve. Marty made a post which summarizes a bit of the history of this thread. I responded with the following: Thanks for the walk down memory lane, Marty. Whatever happened to Roberto, Nanlin, Taichi and all those familiar faces? If I remember correctly didn't Madly and Roberto have a bet for dinner regarding the price of Oilex. Wonder how that turned out? If any of you are out there somewhere, check in and say hi! Forgive me, Steve. Some of us on this thread have developed a friendship over the past year or two. We set aside viewpoints on this company and we treat the people who post on this thread with respect. Respect for both their viewpoints and for them as human beings. I have no idea how other people on this thread feel about your posts. In my own personal opinion you have personally managed to turn this thread into a bitter personal war between various posters. Believe it or not, Steve, I respect the people on this thread. I even respect you and your right to post on this thread. It is too bad, in my opinion, that you must lower yourself to the level that you have. Some of us would like to keep this thread on a level worthy of Silicon Investor --- the open sharing of information, both positive and negative --- for the betterment of all investors. Calling people "fools" and lowering yourself to personal attacks is not something of which one should be proud and, in my opinion, it does a great dis-service to this thread. Offie BTW: Many thanks for posting the 1997 production numbers. This is the type of information, along with the factual information that I and many others have posted on this thread, which is what Silicon Investor is all about. If we can keep the discussions to the positive and negative aspects of "factual" information, including asking serious questions about issues for which we may not have all the facts, we will all be better off.
